Saturday Night Live took aim at the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial in this weekend’s cold open
The comedy act mocked the public’s fascination with the case and focused on the more embarrassing details of the “cuckoo trial.”
Depp is portrayed by Kyle Mooney in the skit, taking to the witness stand to narrate a home security video where their property manager found faeces in his bed, allegedly left by Heard.
After viewing the footage, the judge bangs the gavel and weighs in.

The judge then raises a glass of wine hidden behind her bench as she proposed a toast once Depp agrees the trial is rather amusing.
The sketch has already reached over 1 million views on socials and comes amid the high-profile court case, which resumes Monday after taking a week-long hiatus.
